Data Privacy Compliance

Roughly, data privacy compliance refers to laws that jurisdictions have enacted to protect citizens

Some are

• PIPEDA - Canada
  

  • It's important to note that there is pending legislation called Bill C-27, which includes the proposed Consumer Privacy Protection Act (CPPA). If passed, this would replace PIPEDA and introduce stricter privacy regulations for businesses operating in Canada
    

  • PIPEDA applies fully to private-sector organizations in provinces without substantially similar privacy laws, including Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, and Yukon
    

• GDPR - Europe
  

Compliance in the context of a website usually means getting permission from visitors to store cookies and other personal data and also having a privacy policy page

Compliance more generally requires businesses to employ policies and operations to ensure data privacy

What We Do

To be data privacy compliant, businesses must implement a few things. Websites.ca can help with those requirements that relate to your website. But just so you know, there are other operational and policy items you need to know about for your business.

• We install a plugin for your website that handles many of the details of visitor authorization for storing cookies and other personal data
  

• We ensure you have a privacy policy page
  

By implementing these measures, businesses can work towards compliance for their websites and protect user data as required by regulations.
